I got to fire Drew Barrymore!

And rub elbows with Noah Wyle, and grab Jake Gyllenhaal by the scruff of the neck.

It was all in the cult classic movie, ‘Donnie Darko’, which is celebrating its 25^th anniversary this year. Before I became a full-time magician performing assembly programs in schools, I worked as an actor in Hollywood, and this was one of my larger film roles.

The New York Times recently ran a lovely article on the anniversary. It’s thrilling to have been part of a movie that, all these years later, still excites such interest.
